SHERMAN CANDIDACY.

New York, Feb. 2Sth.--John
Sherman, while in this city the
other day, was not at all backward
in having it distinctly understood
that he is in the field as the Repub-
lican candidate for the next Presi-
dency, and that he is disposed to
employ all honorable means for at
tanning the object of his ambition.
He has quite voluminous cores
pondence with the Republican lead
ers here. The feeling at the Union
League and Union Republican
Clubs is undoubtedly growing in his
favor, owing, perhaps, to the ubi-
guilty of his brother, General w. L.
Sherman, whose residence in this
city is of immense advantage to the
Senator. General w. T. Sherman
at this moment is, probably, the
most popular man in the city. He
is invited everywhere, and he rarely
declines an invitation, except for
cause. He rarely talks politics, but
Notwithstanding that, he is posi-
tive political influence.

Duke Nicholas. This nobleman, did
not, as usual, go to hotel. On
the contrary, he entered a house on
the Rue Boetie, most retired and
inconspicuous place. Although he
was only to stay five weeks, he hired
also the houses adjoining on both
sides and cleared everyone out of
them. Then the Gar came. He
travelled in the garb of a well-to-do
Russian merchant and was not re-
cognized on the journey. He had
three companions. One was his
most trusted aide-de. camp, who was
also carefully disguised. Another
was a Russian soldier, who had no
idea of the Cars identity. The
third was large Russian mastiff or
bloodhound. The object of his COM
ing here was to have personal in
terview with M. Grevy about Bull
garia and the general situation in
Europe. What the result of their
conference was, is, of course. I'M
known. Rumor at the Elysee has
it, however, that the Gar agreed, in
case of Franco-German war, to re-
main neutral only so long as France
was getting the better of it. II
Germany began victorious march
toward Paris again, all the military
force of Russia would come swoop.
ing down on the German frontier.
How was the Cars presence dis
covered? Two English officers, who
had been at st. Petersburg and who
live opposite the house he lived il
here, recognized him. They Sc
watch upon him and their suspicious
finally were confirmed.--Adol
Houssaye. in Chicago Tribune.

THE Cody WOMEN who till the coffee

The Cody WOMEN who till the coffee
plantations OF Southern India have one pref
ty habit which 1 always admired, and it
made me regret their generally sloven!!y
dress. There is in the jungle flower which,
think, is known in England by the name
of the India marigold. II resembles double
stock in shape, and is of warm yellow and
brown color. This is 'samee," or sacred
flower, and is as holy as is the lotos to the
orthodox Hindoos, while it can protect the
wearer from all sorts of evils. The cody
women have long black hair; 1t is not very
clean but at short distance is certainly very
lustrous and picturesque, and when these
"samee flowers" with their pale green
leaves aud fiery buds, are twisted among the
tresses as gracefully as women always know
how to do such things, whether white or
black, the effect becomes striking and arts
liz. though whether it proves, as alleged,
eir.c,ual in warding of aches and plaques is
o,,sn to doubt.-Letter from India.

The GAZETTE has better facilities for

the benefit of the Associated Press dis

Its patrons can read from its columns in the
evening what has transpired that day in
every portion of our own domain as well a.
from every part of the habitable globe.
Consequently it is an every day occurrence
for the GAZETTE to publish kilograms from
the various European capitals twelve and
fifteen hours earlier than the morning IA

Another feature that serves to make the
GAZETTE a great desideratum with mer.
chants is its afternoon market reports from
New York, Baltimore, Chicago and other
centres.
The local department furnishes full and
complete history of everything that occurs

Judge Cowan was born in Staun-
ton, Va, in 1880. He married Miss
Sue, eldest daughter of the late Col.
g. Cresap, of Kingwood, and was
quite well known in Preston and adj
joining counties of this State His
wife and three children survive him.
He was a representative Of Virginia

During the summer months the
the State meet together and ex-
change their views upon the various
departments of teaching and school
management. Methods are discuss
cd, plans proposed and new ideas
suggested.
The institute Of Monongalia coun-
ty teachers will be held in Morgan
town and will begin August 18th.
These gatherings are provided for
by the Legislator and are for the
benefit of the teacher alone. Here
he is supposed to get some good.
Now in order for that teacher to
reap the whole benefit he must be
interested. IF the meetings are de-
void of Interest he makes them so. II
the discussions are dry let the teach
crs enliven them. The more active
ly each one engages the more will
he enjoy the exercises. Let each
prepare himself on some topic and
come prepared to take part in the
discussion.
Teachers, if you would enjoy the
institute, work and do not wait; dis
cuss and not cuss; go ahead and do
not grumble.

Anything for the Corn.

Our Republican friends are al
ready industriously laying their
plans to capture West Virginia by
sharp practice in the next election.
They always have some sort of a
side show, and if they can have any
fun or make any money in the new
venture they are welcome to it.
They seem to have about exhausted
all other expedients and this time
will try to fuse with the prohibitions
lists. Should they succeed-there is
little probability of 1.-THE Repub-
licans would simply pull in the
loaves and fishes and give the tenn
perance people the cold shoulder
and the amendment would be dead
letter.
The fact that the Republicans arc
willing to fuse with the prohibition
lists shows that they are willing tC
do anything to get into power.
There are very many Republicans
who are conscientious temperance
men and the leaders hope to hood
wink them into voting the fusion
ticket, and if successful to give the
strikers the offices, after which
mighty little attention will be pait
to enforcing the prohibition amend
ment.

Another Sample.

Levi Bacon, the financial clerk of
the Patent office, whose death devel-
oped such shameless condition of
his accounts, was appointed to his
position in 1878 upon the recommen-
dation Of Jay A. Hubbell, of Michi-
gan, the famous ''Brother Hubbell,"
who, as chairman of the Republican
Congressional Committee, used to
tax the Department clerks and rob-
bed them out of q portion of their
salaries AS President Arthur said,
''men and women with families to
support gave for fear of what might
happen to them if they didn't give.
Hubbell is one of Bacon's bonds.
men. Worse yet, it now appears
that about $1,000 of the money
which Bacon collected as financial
clerk of the Patent office, instead Of
being paid into the treasury, was
stolen, actually stolen, and used as g
campaign fund.-Stdndard.
The new dominion. [volume] (Morgantown, W. Va.) 1876-1904, 1887-07-23
Three Things Agreed.

1. 1t is agreed on all sides that the
laws were never so badly admins
tered in this town and county as
now. The laws are openly violated
and nobody is punished. There is
universal feeling Of contempt
among the law breakers for the re-
straints of law. They violate the
law and defy the authorities. Crime
runs rampant and nobody feels re-
sponsible for the punishment of the
criminal.
That is agreement number /.
2. 1t is agreed that this county
was never less prosperous than now.
Although the opportunities for our
people were never better in the his
tory of the county, our farmers and
merchants are hard up, money is
scarce, and we are growing poorer.
Taxes are assessed up to the high
est notch, and yet the public roads
are impossible in the winter and
rough and neglected in the summer
There are no public improvements
no public pride; no public enter
prise; our young men go away, and
the balance of the population lives
from hand to mouth.
That is agreement number 2.
3. 1t is agreed, from the founda-
ton of government, that when com
munity drifts into such q condition
as we find our own, the natural an6
only effective remedy is a change o
administration. The dominant par
ty in this county has been so long il
power that healthy fear of public
sentiment is all gone. 1t does no
believe the people will make :
change, no matter how badly thu
laws are administered Things
have gone from bad to worse unit
at last there is almost an utter fail
ure Of administration.
The only question which now re
mains is whether the people prefe
anarchy to a change.
We are Of opinion that chang
= has already been decreed.
